I think I'm going to buck the trend a bit here. I don't think you have to leave.
As long as the relationship is good, this can be another opportunity to learn social skills. You can learn to make friends without relying on flirting your way to them. You can make friends while still being attentive and loving to your girlfriend. Relationships don't have to be a cage. You're obviously already competent at meeting new people. Are you up for a new challenge?
Also, you're in trouble of making yourself a bit of a playboy here. If that's what you want, fine, but if you don't see yourself flirting your way around the nursing home when you're 80-odd, then why not try it?

This is the only thing that puts me off- I can't stand jealousy. But maybe she's only jealous because, as you admit, you
might be flirting with other people. I wouldn't like it if my partner did that in front of me, either.
You do make it sound as if the relationship is worth at least trying to save, and it can definitely be another opportunity for personal growth and challenging yourself. However, you do need to know when stop trying to make it work- if nothing's improving then you really are caged.
