Angry More and more frequent starting problem. Need help

I bought my 2000 4.4 in Febuary and this problem only occured maybe 2-3 times a month but recently it's been happening about 2 times daily! I know that the X is know for this problem but I'm getting kinda worried when it sometimes happens twice in a row. I'm nervous that I might get stuck.

I'm having the typical problem with the engine not doing anything when I turn the key. Everything is normal apon start-up, ie. electronics... but no turning over of the starter. I usually turn the key back wait afew seconds and it fires right up. Once the engine is running everything is normal. I have no other issues other then the start-up. I searched on here and only found that the computer needs to boot up before start-up. And that you should wait second or two before starting. I've been doing that the past few days and it still has the problem.

Do anyone have any insight as to what the problem might be or how the vehicle proceeds through start-up? I don't believe that there is a dead spot in the starter because the engine never partially starts. And doesn't need to be rocked to make the X start. I'm hesitant to bring it to a dealer because I don't think it would do it once I got it there. I might wait until it's more frequent. Thanks in advance for any help on the subject Rob
