You need the male to hit her a little bit haha sounds weird but it's courtship. If she is more dominant she won't hook up with him. My female would be very aggressive until the male just beat her to a pulp almost. Then for 4-5 months they make love every two weeks lol
if he is in no way fighting back, lip locking, or showing aggression after a bit then I would not leave him in there, you would be better off putting her into his tank. his territory rather than hers. IMHO
