We need to list about a dozen symptoms for hard starting and let the OP check off what he/she thinks might be the reason.
Other then that...I haven't the vaguest idea.

Right, way too vague. It could be many things from the battery, starter, loose drive belt, fuel pump...forget it, I could go on til tomorrow.

Perhaps it's lacking enough fuel at start ups. You need more fuel when the engine is cold. Has the fuel filter ever been replaced? Could be a fuel pump on the outs. Next time this happens, bang on the fuel tank with a rubber mallet or 2X4 with someone trying to start it and see if it starts. If so, the fuel pump is likely going bad. This is a starting point of course.

How strong or weak is your battery? Do you have a Check Engine Light on?
Could be a bad coolant temp sensor - the one that goes to the ECU computer, not the one that goes to the dash gauge.

No one noticed that he had a TOGGLE switch to start the car. Wonder how many amps the switch can handle and the guage of wire to connect it. Starter needs a lot of cranking power.
1st gear to pop the clutch?... should be 3rd or maybe 2nd...not 1st.
I believe his problem is the engine not turning over fast enough to fire because it starts up on popping the clutch.
