They don't ask for a specific mate they just want A mate. In most mammals it is also the males duty to iniciate the mating such as chasing her, tracking her down, mounting her, and then mating with her. Since humans are nothing more then advanced mammals it makes sense that this same procedure would be deeply embedded in our brains.
There is no one script which every mammal follows regarding sex. For some - thinking now of seals and the like - the dominant male carves out as big a swath of the beach as he can hold, and spreads his genes as widely as he can passing on his winning genes in the process. But that is not the model for all mammals. Not by a long shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sexual_behaviour
Animals which live in social groups where the care of the young involves the input of more than just the mother, have more complex behaviors. Humans certainly fall into this category and not that of mammals which only gather for mating.
Also, I wouldn't make too much of humans being 'advanced' mammals. We are specialized in the human direction whereas other mammals are specialized in other directions. Other mammals don't come up short in the human direction; that simply isn't the direction their evolution is advancing in.
