Well; he has a journal in Paper Mario that shows him to be a very average guy, despite his bravado. He's shy, more or less, when it comes to Peach, especially in the RPGs. BUT if you ask for my non-canon opinion, I'll tell ya what I think.
I think Peach likes Bowser too, but think, if she were to get hitched to a giant dinosaur, what would the Mushroom Kingdom think, with her being a Princess? So she and Bowser use Facebook or whatever to preplan the kidnappings, while Bowser makes up some crazy 'take over the world' motif to keep Mario distracted while he gets to spend time with his love. Basically Peach is kidnapped for a few months at a time to catch up with Bowser, Mario 'saves' her, and Peach lives the mundane life as the princess, bored and lonely until she gets 'kidnapped' again. Mario works well in that he doesn't question the motives, or how she gets kidnapped so easily (maybe Peach let the guards in on it) and basically, he's the key component for making this complicated forbidden love scenario possible. This also may explain the Bowser children scenario, but we won't go that far into it.
TL;DR: Peach and Bowser got the hots for each other, Mario doesn't even know.
