How long until they pair up?

I adopted a friend's ocellaris, she's a little over a year old AFAIK and around 2" long. I've had her for a month or two and yesterday I bought a ~1.25" clown that I'm hoping she'll eventually pair with. She's shown NO agression whatsoever, and the little guy hasn't shown signs of submission either -- they're not ignoring each other, but they're acting more like roommates than mates. I did notice the female is a bit protective of the little guy -- I got too close to the tank this afternoon and she started hovering around him, taking dashes at the glass until I backed up (she thinks she's big and scary ;))
Will it be a while before they pair up?

Here they are in their tank, which they share with a goby and his pistol shrimp :)
