Hard Starts???

I am off at college and it's getting real cold up here. I only drive my maybe 2-3 times a week, so it usually sits for at least 3-4 days before I start it again. It's been having trouble starting. I'll try to start it but it just doesn't so I end up having to press the gas all the way down for it to start. Any tricks on what I can do, would spraying just a little bit of starter fluid in it help. Besides starting it every day, because I have heard that if you just start a car and don't drive it, that that isn't good on the motor.

it should pretty much start right up. i leave my good car sit for several weeks at a time and drive my truck and it always starts. i'd check the fuel system, delivery and preasure.
