Dinosaurs became extinct sixty-five million (65,000,000) years before there was anything remotely resembling a human on the plains of Africa.

Not all dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. Some lines continued into semi-modern times and were scouted as the Anakims in the time of Joshua. So men did co-exist with the dinosaurs.

Not according to any mainstream theories or any commonly accepted evidence, at least as far as "classic" dinosaurs are concerned. Non-avian dinosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago while humans have evolved int the past two hundred thousand years. However it is no known that birds are the only surviving clade of dinosaurs.

In the time of dinosaurs, there were some small, mainly nocturnal mammals around, but no humans. Members of our genus did not come on to the scene until perhaps a million years ago. So, although we know a lot about dinosaurs from their fossils, no one will ever see a live dinosaur.

Rather surprisingly the answer may well be yes. It seems very likely that modern birds evolved from therapod dinosaurs. Recent velociraptor fossil remains prove they had feathers and wings, prompting one expert to say that if velociraptors were found alive today, we'd think they were simply odd looking birds (albeit with teeth!). So, in a sense, dinosaurs are still walking and flying around today. However, the traditional "age of the dinosaurs" - the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretacious - finished 65 million years ago and the earliest modern human remains are "only" 200,000 years old - genetic dating indicates that modern humans have existed for, at most, 1 million years so, in that sense, man and dinosaurs never co-existed. No, the dinosaurs were long gone by the time people evolved. Life had to start over on land after the catastrophe, possibly the landing of a large meteor in the Yucatan, that caused flora and fauna to die.

No, dinosaurs were long gone before the development of mankind. The only place you would see them together would be in TV (The Flintstones) and assorted movies.

Dinosaurs did live with man. The earth is only 6000 years old. Dinosaurs were made somewhere around 3 days before humans. They lived togeather. Untill humans hunted them down. Now there are only little in a swamp in Africa.
