My Idea was to bring him to f5 to block d6 but on his next move he did that for me!

The game is a good example of what happens when you don't know the basic developing concepts of chess in the opening. We're not talking memorizing lines, but rather basic stuff like developing pieces to their best squares, freeing up bishops with logical center pawn pushes, getting the king castled, etc.
