Dating Young Men: Psychological Issues? Or simple immaturity?

I'm not pushing a battle of the sexes here. I'm simply stating a fact and looking for men's opinions.... so don't jump down my throat
Sometimes, a guy will meet a nice enough girl, and say or do anything - ANYTHING - to get her in the sack. I've had two seperate guys ask me to be their girlfriend, when it was fairly obvious what their intentions were. Gladly, I took it for what it was, and did my own thing. I've also seen guys go further than that... pretend they are commited in ways they're clearly not. Involving family members. Making plans for the future. Talking pets or even babies.
I have guy friends who've done this, I've seen it done to girl friends, and I've had it done to me. I'm simply curious for some thoughts.
First of all, do they ever feel guilty for doing stuff like that just to get some action? Or do they feel good about it? Like they achieved something, or won a battle.... OR are they so incapable of defining their emotional feelings and their physical feelings that they can't seperate true "love" from sexual tension?
Second, why don't guys ever just say it like it is... "I'm looking to have some fun, and you seem fun". Sometimes girls feel the same way, and would be happy to play along! Granted, we often want a relationship, but sometimes we can call a spade a spade and say "I'm attracted to you, but I know a real relationship wouldn't work, so let's just have fun!"
I realize not all guys are like this, and not all girls are like this... but I'm really intersted to hear the psychology involved in the ones who are. Any thoughts?
