Do I have brain damage?

I've always had some math challenges and when it comes to card games, I avoid them. However, I try to train my brain with crossword puzzles, study chess ( haven’t played it yet) and violin ( beginner to mid level) . Yet, I'm still challenged.

Last night I had an embarassing moment. I met someone on a popular dating site, long distance and we've been talking for over a month. Maybe it was a test, my mother and friend sees it that way but the guy asked me to play ro..blox. We're in our 30s but he's two years younger.

I tried the games for the first time, sadly I couldn’t maneuver the screen properly so I couldn’t jump and kept dying. We tried a scary circus game, snowboarding, matching four balls game, snowboarding and i passed only the boxing and spelling game. After everything he kept exclaiming " kids can do this," "he's never seen anything like this before," "I'm different.....", " a grandma." At one point after the games ended and there was a standstill in our online conversation, I was watching a funny video and said " this is ridiculous. " He then shouted " you are ridiculous!" This kindof hurt because...what?
And instead of leaving the dumb conversation i stayed and asked him if me not being able to play is a dealbreaker.

He only went on to say how I lack:

dexterity of fingers
Quick thinking
Multi-tasking skills
Iffy on communication skills

He struggled to speak on my good points.

I alao had this weird feelig since lately, and started asking him if he has female friends abroad ( he doesn't prefer women from his country) and he said yes....then said how questions like that can be read as " weird " and not to be asked in his country. Had to ask though cause he's always talking about In.....donesia and the Ph.....illipines etc.

When i told this to my friend, she was upset, wanting to know why I stayed in the convo etc.

I'm thinking about getting myself asessed cause no way I can be this slow. I stuggle with social skills, etc and couldn't even maintain my long-term relationship in the past.

Other things have happened too in our convo, where he would ask if he could give his dog some fish sticks, I gave him my advice then started talking about what dogs can't eat, he cut me off by saying he knows that!

Previous conversations days ago he said i was out of his league but last night he was unkind in regards to my slow behavior.

Everyone has a hard time with video games the first time they play. Everyone.

He doesn't sound like a kind person. Staying with him means you'll have a venomous critic for the rest of your life. Or more likely till he dumps you for someone he sees as better. Because that is what critical people do.

@KingFeeder yeah, that's really my take on things. We are no together in a sense. I've never met him but we've been having consistent communication since late May, and I might see him when i visit his country. I'm reconsidering meeting him.

@Barkingpuppy Good for you! And there are plenty of fish in the sea. I'm sure you'll find the right one right when you least expect it.
