Which side is the so called dark side of the moon?

The dark side of the moon refers to the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation, not because it is always dark. Both sides of the moon receive sunlight, but we only see one side from Earth.

Why do you se only one side of the moon?
