If love at first sight occurs, then try them in the space they are going to be living in, if it is still all ok, then they are are fine and you have nothing else to do.
If the rabbits seems a bit hesitant towards each other, just keep an eye on them when they are together and separate them when you are not around, this will avoid any fighting and eventually they will bond.
Another scenario is, if the male mounts the female and the female does not resist, this is a positive sign meaning the relationship will go well. If the female does put up a fight and becomes aggressive towards him, then you must prepare yourself for a lengthier introduction period.
If one rabbit is chasing and the other is running, make sure the running doesnt fight back and doesnt get hurt. If neither of these things occur, then just watch and wait. If one does show signs of aggression, then separate them and once again you must prepare yourself for a lengthier introduction period.
When two rabbits fight then you must prepare for a full introduction period and the possibility that they may not bond at all!
Sometimes the chasing and scuffling can initially look aggressive when in fact it is not, often they get themselves in a situation where they are chasing each other in a circle, neither will stop as they each have a rabbit chasing them! Break it up with a loud noise, or a squirt of water or even by using a soft broom, gently.
Real aggression is directed at the face or genitals and can often by typified by the two rabbits locking together in almost a ball shape with one on top of the other. When this occurs, they are trying to really hurt each other and must be separated as quickly as possible before one of them or even both of them become seriously hurt.

SUGGESTED PAIRINGS
Boy/Girl - probably one of the easiest and will quite often fall in love at first sight.
Girl/Girl - Quite easy but sometimes there will be fighting.
Boy/Boy - Usually there will be fighting at first but it is not totally impossible to bond boys.
Two babies - Very easy to bond.
Three or more rabbits - This will depend on age, sex, personalities and whether two of the rabbits are already bonded.
Baby/Adult - Sometimes difficult but will go well if adult is tolerant.
If you are bringing home a rabbit to a rabbit which already lives with you, it is almost always easier to bring home a girl to a boy rather than the other way round. It is always easier to bring the rabbits home at the same time, usually the strange environment is enough to bond them.
