beta fish breeding question?

im breeding my beta fish and i prepared them exactly how i was suppose to and followed all the steps to get them ready and when i let them go the male and female just look at each other and go away. there have been flares but mostly from the male.also the male is hitting her and she is running away. she hit him a few times but she isnt giving back much of a fight should i separate them? they have been in the tank for about a hour and few minutes if that helps. what should i do???
 
that is normal he will do that to show he is strong. do not separate them till he bites a fin off or somthing. dont get scared and if u want to u can add another female cause them two might like each other.
