The first time is a problem in everything. In your case, light pollution and the moon are definitely factors. Andromeda is much, much easier under a dark sky - I can't see it at all from my downtown location.
Try not to concentrate too much on constellations at first - most of them are figments of the imaginations of ancient shepherds with way too much time on their hands. Concentrate on the bright stars, and work your way out from there. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to figure out everything at once. It does take time, but it's worth it.
