Why is "Jungen" used here? Why not "Junge"?

    "mit" takes the dative case.

    Which is why the article is 'dem'. Do masculine nouns always end with 'n' in the dative case?

    No, there are three declension types in German: weak, strong and mixed. Some nouns (for example: der Junge, der Affe) declines with "weak" pattern: Singular N. der Junge A. den Jungen D. dem Jungen G. des Jungen
