First, you're obviously a young, healthy heterosexual man. You're biologically geared to want to fuck everything in sight. That's just sort of the way it is right now for you. I'm roughly twice your age, and I still have spurts of that here and there (no pun intended). You are going to spend the rest of your life looking at girls, sometimes when that's ok and sometimes when it's not. There aren't many guys here that can honestly say that they don't look and think about the possibilities.
Now, you realize you're making a mistake about the texting. That's also obvious. There's really only one way to fix that problem, and that's to stop doing it. "Harmless flirting" means so many different things that you WILL eventually end up on the wrong side of the definition, so I recommend, along with everyone else here, keeping all your relationships with other women unreproachably platonic. The rule of thumb is to interact with them only while your girlfriend/SO is there, or, if she has to be absent, only say or do things that you would while she were in the room.
My last piece of advice is a bit different than other folks. One of the things that I've learned is that there are "good" lies and "bad" lies. Good ones are ones that would hurt her if she found out but have no bearing on your relationship, such as getting drunk and going to a strip club. In my mind, this qualifies as a good lie to tell, should it come up. Now, a bad lie is going to be more along the lines of getting drunk, going to a strip club and have your cock make an appearance anywhere save to take a leak.
Oh yeah:
