I think the reason you cant jump it because of

A: the battery is dead (which is a given)

B: it is so dead it is not helping the other car out with the jump. You need someone to be in the other car reving up ever so slightly, like to around 2k if not barely higher then trying to crank yours. If I was a gamblin man I would bet on that that it will crank then. Once cranked if it does, let it run for a long long time to see if it will hold a charge from the alternator. I am thinking since you dont run it long enough to charge up what you take from the battery on the initial start you have drained it unknowingly.

Try B and report back. I have had to do this more times then I got fingers and toes to get a car to start.
