You opened gate first against Zerg then didn't poke :/ Much better off going for a FFE if you don't plan on doing an early pressure.
FFE is a stronger economic opening, gate first is a stronger aggressive opening. By opening with an aggressive build and then not aggressing, you are sacrificing economy for nothing, just like sending 10 probes to the wrong rally.
For Zerg/Terran, BOs are not quite as critical as for Protoss unless you're looking for a timing attack. With Terran you should map out your tech to starport, and with Zerg you should have your timing up to adding 2nd+ gas. With Protoss you should have everything timed out up to your first push.
