Default my car REALLY doesn't like me

ok, this usually happens during the winter maybe becaue it is extremely cold, but my car doesn't like to start sometimes. maybe i just don't have the right touch or something...i turn it far enough to catch, but it just makes this noise kinda like it's saying "sorry, i am not ready to start"...any help is welcome!

How about a better explination using terms other than "makes this noise kinda like it's saying..."?

OK OK OK OK...

Does it turn over? If so, does it turn over fast? If it does, does it fire (sound like it wants to start)? If it does, does it eventually start? If it starts, does it do this EVERY time or only when it's cold?

Saying it's kinda squeaky is like saying my tires are round and black; which ones do I need?

whens the last time u changed the spark plugs and wires?
or even ur fuel filter, possibly try and use fuel injector cleaner, that might even work... always try the cheapest solutions first, dont go and buy a new starter or battery rite away...cuz those are the only other 2 things really it can be
