We've had this problem before...you have to install a check valve (use a swing check and install it horizontally) in the recirc return line, so water cannot flow back through it and mix with the cold when you use the faucet.

Unless there is a recirculating pump the hot water has to come from the hot water heater. Depending on how far away it is from the faucet, it can take 15 to 30 seconds for the hot water to get there. Since there is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot, it cools down between uses.
