No, they have to be straight. --------------------------- ------------------ Those are parallel lines because they are straight. In geometry, a non-straight line has no meaning. It is allowed that arcs, planes and such can be parallel. In common usage, a twisting and turning line can be described as parallel to another, such as the rails of a railroad track, even though they are not co-planar or straight. It may not be proper by geometric definition but it is descriptive and conveys the meaning adequately.

What difference between parallel and non parallel line in drawings?
Non-parallel lines intersect at some point, parallel lines don't.
What are the different straight lines?
Parallel
Can 2 non intersecting lines be parallel in 2 D?
In 2D geometry, that is the definition of parallel lines. Two non-intersecting lines are indeed parallel.
Can two lines be both non intersecting and non parallel?
no, if two lines are not parallel then the will eventually have to intersect.Alternate perspective:Yes, if two lines are non-parallel, they need not intersect in three dimensional space.
What are straight lines in the same plane that do not intersect?
Parallel lines
