if you are not sure what you want to play I think the Pathfinder Society (PFS) games are probably your best bet. have a look at some of the info other new players have received recently for info on these games.
you build a character according to some strict rules and then you can use this character in various "one shot" scenarios that are typically completed in one 4 hour session. you can then take the character and all his new experience and toys into another session, maybe with a different DM even.

thank you will take a look at that i sorta am use 2 3.5 and played 4 with my friends cept sadly besides for me and DM no one knew how to roleplay or make characters and put them well together xD so sadly one quest took us 5 sessions and it was just a training quest for them since they were really new xD well i will give it a go

Another suggestion to make yourself more appealing as a player - and I am not saying this to be a wise arse - is to use capitalization, commas, and periods; and don't abbreviate "to" or "too" as "2" because RPGs often use Roman numerals for their system editions, thus using them unnecessarily can create confusion. "To" is just one extra character to type. The appearance of laziness in a text-based virtual table top is like the appearance of the plague face-to-face - I'll cross the street to avoid you.

Finally, bragging about how awesome you are or how terrible other players are is also a huge turn off for some GMs. We don't care how awesome you think you are. It's always better to leave out the editorializing until you have established your awesomeness first hand.

Hope you find a good group soon, and welcome.

You could always look for a game that uses voice chat instead of typing.

sometimes finding a game can take a few weeks and you might get a few knock backs along the way. different gm/dms are looking for different types of players. most do want you to bring a certain degree of maturity to the table and maybe your typing wasnt showing that but keep on looking. did you check out any of the pathfinder society info?

As others have mentioned, just look for a game which uses voice for communications - a lot of us aren't good at typing, or patient to wait for others to type; so many games use voice as the main means of communication/character role-playing etc.. That's certainly what I do for my games...
