Starting problems, Not exactly sure what it is, little help please? Options

[bmrabb]

So my car has had starting problems recently. I turn the key and it clicks once...that's it. The engine doesn't crank or anything. After I try a few more times, the car starts up perfectly fine.
I'm not really sure what the problem is. Is it the starter? Or could it be something else.
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas or the same problem and how you fixed it.

Thanks alot,
Brandon
