08 Lancer GTS didnt start up 1st try

Ok, this happened to me about 3 times already. One morning, I wake up and get ready to go to work. I get in my 08 Lancer GTS and attempt to start it up. It doesnt start up the first time. So, I turn the ignition and try again and it turns on. A couple weeks later, I get the same problem only this time it's at night. Another couple weeks go by and the same thing happens, only it's in the middle of the day. I thought that the first time it happened was maybe because it was pretty cold in the morning and that it just needed to be warmed up to get it going. But now that it happened to me a few times, I'm starting to get worried. Anyone have any idea's what may be going on? I got about 2600 miles on it so far, havent gotten an oil change yet (waiting til it hits 3k), and everytime I go somewhere I warm up the car for 5-8 minutes. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
