it is very possibly the starter relay as suggested above.
Could also be switch or less likely the solenoid binding.

I would suggest that since you had to ask, the smart thing would be to take it to a shop that is smart about electricity...but first;

Replacing the starter relay is easy, you could take yours to CDN tire or any auto parts store and they could get you a match for under $20

You should post your city, in case one of the other forum members has a shop to recommend or warn against.
