It looks to me mostly like you pushed around a player who was significantly weaker than you. I think you will learn more (and people will be more motivated to post comments) from closer fights.

17: You have a slight weakness. Your opponent peeped at it. So you get to fix your weakness without losing a move to do it. Fill at E3, and thank your opponent.

20: Be very thankful that he missed the oppportuity to kill your corner by playing E3 himself.

33: What is he threatening? To make a few points in gote?
You have more important things to do. Try O17 or O4 or J6 or C13.

35: Solid, but way too unenterprising, especially at this stage of the game. Try K5, and your net still works, and you are splitting his stones.

36: Ouch. You have played FIVE stones on the G and H files, for a net profit of about five points. That is horribly inefficient for this stage of the game. You should be making ten point moves.

37: Much better! ( O17 is probably bigger, C13 is probably more usefil for getting the corner, but still it is good to see you making big moves )

43: You must play E16 here. ( When you play E17, there is a trap: he plays B17, you must prevent the connection underneath, so you play B16, then he crosscuts with E16. Because of the position of C14, he wins the ensuing fight. Set up a board and play this one out. )
This is the second time that you were saved from getting slaughtered by playing a weak opponent.

61: The cap at G14 is probably better.


As dfan suggested, you should play stronger players. By playing someone this weak, you are reinforcing some bad habits.
