how big is she and how big is the tank you're trying to pair them in?
the best thing I can think of to do is add 3-4 males at the same time to her tank. She should eventually choose one and then you can get rid of the others. the size of the tank will determine how feasible this would be to accomplish because if the tank is too small the males will probably start killing each other (and possibly her too) before a pair can be formed.
the absolute best thing is to get them as juveniles (before sexing is possible) and grow them up together and let a pair form out of a group of 6 or more. the older the fish is when you try to pair it up the more difficult it will be.
