Word question: Do you have to be married (or with a SO) to have an affair?

This is a nomenclature / word usage question.

Can two single / unattached people have an affair? Or is that just a fling?

Does the word “affair” imply that one (or both) of the participants are married (or in a relationship with a SO)?

Is the implication of ’“affair” that you’re breaking promises with someone else?
