parallel lines are two lines that go on forever without meeting

two lines that never intersect could be travelling away from each other (on an angle) parallel lines are lines that are a certain distance apart that all along there length, going in the same direction (the same slope)

Parallel lines next intersect. They keep going on without ever touching

Parallel lines are COPLANAR lines that do not intersect. By definition, they must lie on the same plane.
Lines that do not intersect and do not lie on the same plane are called skew lines.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Thus, they do not ever intersect.

the two lines can be on different planes- thus they could be in any direction, but never intersect because they are on completely different levels.

Parallel lines do not meet.

Mmmm cause if you see them in 3D they could have another direction and the rule of being parallel brakes

It is true in the plane, but not in 3-space.
There the lines may be skew lines.

They could also be horizontal
