Is there a difference between comitting adultery and having an affair?

If you are married and have an affair you are committing adultery. If you are unmarried and have an affair you are committing fornication. Adultery is only committed by married people. Any sex outside of marriage is fornication.

There can be a difference. Adultery is committing an affair while you are married, but an unmarried person can be sleeping with a married person and they are only having an affair since they are not married themselves.

adultery is having sex perhaps only once, with different people, when you have a boyfriend
an affair may mean having a flirt n sex followed up relationship with one or different people, but without an intimate engagement

Yes, biblically speaking anyway. According to the Bible, you have already committed adultery once you look upon another with "lust in your heart."
Today, we would only consider an affair to be adultery, but according to the Bible, they are one in the same.

i would take adultery to be a one night stand...an affair is more intimate and last for sometime with the same person.....

There is no difference.
