It is important to realize that magnetic lines do not really exist! They are a tool to visualize the magnetic field, but the field is continuous and does not exist solely inside lines. The direction of the lines gives the direction of the magnetic field, the density of lines, its strength.
This also explains why no two field lines can ever intersect; a field line carries information about the direction of the magnetic field, if they would intersect an ambiguity would arise about the direction (not to mention a field of apparent infinite strength since the density would be infinite at the point of crossing).
The field lines are almost never used in explicit calculations; instead one uses a vector, an entity which contains information about the magnitude and direction of a field in every point in space and time. Adding two magnetic fields is then easy; just add the vectors of both fields in every point in space (and time). You can use the resulting vector field to draw field lines again if you want.
An easy way to imagine what would happen to field lines when they might intersect is to look at them as being such vectors. Imagine you have one field line pointing to the right, and another one pointing up. The result of adding would be a field line pointing somewhere in the up-right direction (the exact direction depending on the relative magnitudes of the fields).
If the fields are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction they would cancel; the field line disappears. But this is to be expected! The magnetic fields canceled each other in that point!
One has to take care with this analogy however; as for field lines the measure of magnitude is their density; which is an undefined thing if you are considering just one field line per field. For a vector however, the measure of magnitude is its length. Therefore adding two field lines of the same magnitude and pointing in the same direction would result in a vector of twice the length, but in field line language you would have to double the density at that point.
This is one of the reasons field lines are used for visualization but not calculation.
By the way, all these things apply to other fields as well. Electric fields can also be represented by field lines, and they as well cannot intersect (for the same reasons). Electric field lines, however, are not necessarily closed loops like magnetic field lines (this has to do with the non-existence of magnetic monopoles).

Do horizontal lines intersect?
No, horizontal lines are parallel to each other and parallel lines never intersect.
If two parallel lines are perpendicular to the same line do the lines intersect?
the parallel lines never intersect each other but they both intersect the line they are perpendicular to
Two lines that never intersect?
The answer would be parallel lines these lines never meet or cross each other.
What is the difference between parallel lines and lines?
Parallel lines remain the same distance apart and never intersect each other whereas other types of lines intersect each other at some point.
What are pararellel lines?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other
Do horizontal lines intersect?
No, horizontal lines are parallel to each other and parallel lines never intersect.
Do perpendicular lines always sometimes or never intersect?
Perpendicular lines always intersect and make 90 degree angles. Parallel lines never intersect with each other.
Two lines which are always the same distance from each other and never intersect?
Parallel lines are always the same distance from each other and never intersect.
If two parallel lines are perpendicular to the same line do the lines intersect?
the parallel lines never intersect each other but they both intersect the line they are perpendicular to
What are lines that do not intersect in geometry?
Parallel lines remain equal distance apart and never intersect each other.
What are Lines that are not parallel and will never intersect?
They are asymptote lines in which as a curve gets closer and closer to them they will never intersect with each other.
Two lines that never intersect?
The answer would be parallel lines these lines never meet or cross each other.
What is the difference between parallel lines and lines?
Parallel lines remain the same distance apart and never intersect each other whereas other types of lines intersect each other at some point.
What are lines that never intersect?
Lines that never intersect are either parallel or skew to each other. If they're both in the same plane (or on the same piece of paper), then they're parallel.
What are pararellel lines?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other
How are two lines that are parallel to each other different from any other two lines?
Because, parallel lines never intersect.
Do parallel line intersect?
In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never intersect. They go this way forever and never intersect but watch this typing. _______________ _______________ In non-Euclidean geometry, they intersect when the faces are uneven.
