I created my own page styles. As is pointed out by Dan, there is already 
a Left and Right page style directly, so you can just use that, but I 
fear that it does NOT do what you want. For example,

Use F11 to toggle the Styles and Formatting pane open and close. When it 
is open..... Click on the Page styles icon along the top of the pane.

Right click on the Left page style and choose Modify. Now, select the 
Organizer tab. This shows you that the next page style is Left. This 
means that when a page formatted with the Left page style is finished, 
the next page style that is used is Left. Sadly, this means that you 
will have one left page after another.

If you click on the Page tab and look in the lower left corner you will 
see that this page style is ONLY usable on left pages.

So, you can do something like this.... With all those other dialogs 
closed, right click on the Default page style (it is named Default) and 
select New.

On the organizer tab, change the name to something like 
"first_page_in_chapter". For the Next style, set it to Default. That 
means that the second page in the chapter will use the Default style.

Select the Page tab and set the Page Layout to be Left page.

There, you can save it and use it.
