Mantids can only be mated once they have reached adulthood. When they have reached adulthood, you must wait for 2-3 weeks, for the male and female to mature before mating.
If you try mating them before this time, they may not be receptive to mating. If they do mate, then this may just cuase her to lay infertile ootheca, as the male will not have had enough time to produce sperm.
