Don't try to breed them, you're obviously young and inexperienced and will only get the female killed. Breeding bettas is hard, and can be expensive.

Using the net isn't the best way. They need to really have time to flare and flash fins at one another but in separate sides of the tank. Just letting them see each other a few minutes doesn't do it. also, are you sure she is ready to spawn? vertical lines, plump and egg spot showing? She does not "drop" eggs, he squeezes them out of her, so they have to be together for this. If your sure they are ready, place them together..but don't go off! Stay and monitor the spawning at all time. This fish takes patience and loads of it.
