I would have to know what book or series you are reading to know if I would classify it as a romance novel or not.

But I have often read young adult books. Heck, I have even read juvenile books like Carl Hiaasen's Hoot. In my opinion, if it sounds interesting, that is all that matters. (And that answers question three---it doesn't have meaning, since it doesn't matter.)
