Classic battery or connections. If you just bought the car the other day how do you know it can sit for months and start. if you keep starting with a weak battery you are asking for problems.

Just a little advice since you're new. When you post, use a title that describes what your question is, not just "help". When you use something like that, you or anyone else will not be able to search for what fixed it or helped. Title it something like "door open, battery ran down" or similar.
If the car sat for a while and the battery wasn't at full charge, it won't take very long to run it down to where it won't start if you've had the lights on, door open, etc. Put a full charge on it and then test it. If it won't hold a charge, you'll need to replace it.
