Ok, b/c my hub does this in front of me with other girls. And I have suspicions about these girls. Any way he claims he doesn't'

Most definitely. However, people flirt for a myriad of reasons, so don't read into it more than it is. Or, on the flip side, take it for less than it might be.
If you are interested in him, you can try returning the flirts and up the ante by making them a touch more personal. Keep it g-rated, but maybe sit a little closer than just pals would, or touch him more tenderly than just play fighting. This may give him the hint and welcome more later.
However, if you are NOT interested in more, you might want to watch it. If he's meaning more and you aren't, he may get the wrong idea, and leading a guy on is a good way to ruin a fun friendship. If you enjoy the innocent flirting you have now, rather than have to make it come to a screeching halt, just make sure you keep it ultra-Disney-friendly, and keep the touching to an absolute minimum. (Think, "How much/what ways would I touch my same-sex pals?") Keep your voice playful, (think guy-to-banter) but not "girlie"/sing-songy. And if that doesn't work, drop hints like, "You're my bud. My greatest pal," etc.
Have fun and good luck!
AH.... after reading your additional info, I am guessing that you are asking in regards to your hubby's behavior. Welllll...
in that case, yes, it's still flirting, but it may not mean anything. Watch HER behavior too. If she is doing what I suggested above for you if you were interested in him (acting especially touchy-feely, warm, basically more than just a passing play/one-liners or how you might joke with a gal pal), keep an eye on it. They very well may not be doing anything, but she and/or he may want to. Chances are if they were doing anything yet, they wouldn't flirt openly in front of you (of course, people have done dumber).
Either way, if it makes you feel bad, speak up. At the very least, he should be respectful of your feelings and if you feel this goes over the line, you have the right to say so. He also has the right to know, and the obligation to honor that. Just make sure you are not being too paranoid, or you will make yourself--and maybe him--feel bad unnecessarily.
Best wishes.

Yes, but maybe your guy is just flirting just to know if you're the jealous type or not. My husband flirts to most of our female friends but I take it as it is. Just flirting. Sometimes, it boosts their ego that somebody finds them attractive. It could also do you good by flirting to other men, too. You can flirt with other men, too and see how he reacts to it. Just don't get too carried away or you both could end up fighting.

most probably it is, because most guys joke in front of girls it is flirting. but you're hubby might actually be telling you the truth, who knows, and say you do not question him further because he migh get angry!!
