Alright so here is the deal. The other day i was at sonics (fast food) i shut off my car cuz the wait was a bit long. well when i went to start it back up it started but then quickly shut off again and it did this a few times before it was up and going again. so a few days have gone by and it starts fine no problems. well tonight i went to micky d's for late dinner after work and it did it again but this time it was harder to start. what could this problem be?

It depends if your fuel injected. But lets pretend you are, which I believe you are. A fuel pump not pushing fuel through when you need it. Or a mass air flow sensor. Try turning your key on a few times for a few seconds a piece before you turn it to start. This may allow your fuel to start it's cycle. It's worth a shot.
