Why can you not see the dark half of the moon?

You often CAN see the "dark side of the Moon". It's easiest to do around the first quarter Moon or a day or two before that. The Sun shining on the Moon causes the Moon to reflect light, and we call this "moonlight". But if you were on the Moon and looking at the Earth, you could see the Earth by reflected sunlight, which we would call "earthlight". When we look at the first quarter Moon, we can often see the dark side of the Moon illuminated very slightly by reflected earthlight!
