Where are my blunders?

I think I played a good game here, attacked, used tactics to win etc., but being the player who played this game, im most likely blind to the moves that would have led to a quicker win that is not dependent on my opponents mistakes. Can you see anywhere where I made a mistake? and comments where I played well would be nice too. :D thanks.

You posted a win instead of a loss.

 

Ok, since you posted a win, you get no mercy.

2. ... Qe7. This is a bad move. You block in your bishop on f8. The queen is a bad defender of the pawn. If white plays 3. dxe5 Qxe5 now your queen is out and is going to get attacked when white develps his knight to f3. You'll have wasted 3 moves with your queen instead of developing your pieces.

4. ... c6. You miss an opportunity to play 4. ... Nxe4. The pawn is essentially undefended since 5. fxe4 Qh4+ 6. g3 Qxe4+ recovers more than your sacrificed material.

11. ... Be7 and 13. ... Bc5. Make a plan with this bishop, stick with it, and get your other pieces involved. 0-0, f5, and fxe4 is a quick way to get a rook staring down at the king.

You don't play Nc6-d4 until after messing around with your a and d pawns.
