Really? You think that'd be the only reason to pick Castle over Demming?
To be honest, for a romantic relationship, YES.
(Actually watching this last run of episodes, I became more and more disliking of romantic Beckett/Castle, and I'm really sorry that its going to be the endgame ship.)
And he obviously has a lot of respect for Kate, too. But Castle, despite being a bit of a dork, is also very nice and he DOES respect her and what she does.
I think Castle respects her as a cop and a friend, but not as a romantic prospect, if that makes sense. I think he's friends with her, I think he likes her, but I think he wants to fuck her because she's hot, because she's Nikki Heat, and because she hasn't gone to bed with him already. Think about how it was framed when she was dating Demming: it wasn't that Rick had LOST something, it was that he wasn't used to LOSING (big difference, imho). If Castle and Beckett got together, Castle would win, and he's win in a way that would mean Beckett lost.
(Furthermore, I am super bitter about the fact that we've seen Castle get into one-night stand and go after chicks throughout the series, but Beckett dates ONE GUY and Castle basically says, 'okay, our friendship (and not just our friendship, but my friendship with all the people I met because of you) is over, Kate breaks up with a great guy who adores her, and Castle goes off to the Hamptons and doesn't call for four months.'

Just fuck you Castle, fuck you.
