if they're perpendicular, then they have to intersect at some time. Now if they were parallel, they would never touch

I think perpendicular means that they will intersect (to cut across or through) at some point. Parallel means that the lines wont touch each other no matter what!

perpendicular lines meet to form right angles. yes they do touch.
only parallel lines do not touch.

Two lines, vectors, planes, etc., are said to be perpendicular if they meet at a right angle.
So, if they meet at "a right angle," then yes.

If they are perpendicular they will touch sometime. If they are parallel they will never touch.

Yes.
Consider the x-y axis, where the x-axis it one line and the y-axis is another line. They will meet at the origin.
