The comedian admitted that around the six-month mark, she typically feels ready to move on, explaining that\u2019s her \u201ctimeline\u201d until the initial \u201cbuzz\u201d wears off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even though the romance has ended, Handler said she and her ex remain friends. Because the relationship was casual from the start, she believes maintaining a friendship is possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMaybe I\u2019ll see him again, maybe we\u2019ll fool around again,\u201d she said, noting that she simply doesn\u2019t want the expectations that come with defining the relationship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Handler also clarified that publicly sharing photos of her \u201ccowboy\u201d earlier this year wasn\u2019t meant to signal anything especially serious. &#8220;I post guys all the time that I&#8217;m dating,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m not posting them saying, &#8216;this is my boyfriend.&#8217; It&#8217;s like, who I&#8217;m spending time with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At this stage of her life, Handler said she\u2019s not interested in a committed, long-term partnership. Instead, she prefers relationships that remain lighthearted and uncomplicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I am not a long-term person. I&#8217;m not interested in anything that comes after the six-month relationship mark,&#8221; Handler admitted, &#8220;I&#8217;m not interested in dealing with your family or your issues. I am not interested.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Chelsea Handler and her 'cowboy.'Credit: Chelsea Handler\/Instagram\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"403\" height=\"480\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Eo77nRHWhdUJwFQTtllvUg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNTtoPTg0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/46b9e01d1151feb6f55fa801994a481a\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Chelsea Handler and her &#8216;cowboy.&#8217;<br \/>Credit: Chelsea Handler\/Instagram<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:PEOPLE's free daily newsletter;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;PEOPLE'&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong>PEOPLE&#8217;s free daily newsletter <\/strong><\/a><strong>to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be part of a unit.
