Yes, he was a bit unfriendly to Usagi in the early episodes of the series, but later in the show, he reveals his 'romantic side.' Tuxedo Mask was created to protect Sailor Moon from danger and to give her courage (and inspiration) in battle. In the mist of danger, this masked man gracefully throws a single red rose to confuse monsters and lift Usagi's spirit.
That red rose. The symbol of hope and relief for Usagi. He then creeps out of the mist, flares his cape, and...smiles. Just the sight of this man in tux alone, is enough to drive Usagi insane.
And yet beneath the mask, we see that Mamo-Chan would be lonely without his Usako. (His nickname for her, meaning "bunny child"). His parents died in a severe car crash when he was young. At that moment, he developed amnesia and forever wondered where he came from or who he was....until he met Usagi. "There's something about that girl!"
Even though he was rather, well, a jerk to Usagi, deep down he knew that this girl was going to end his lonliness.
