Pretty much. They could just be plain tired. Kinda like if you're girlfriend drags you around the mall for hours ... you'd want a break too ...

Just be patient, they'll come around.

would it help if i coverd them with a towel or somthing so they cant see me

The best thing you can do is relax, be patient, and let nature take its course. Betta breeding is supposed to be fun and challenging, not stressful.
