Mary was simply asking how God was going to bring about this miracle. The angel told her how it was going to be done. You will find this part is not covered in Isaiah 7. Mary was simply curious

This is a reasonable explanation, but it still does not explain why a girl about to be married presumes the predicted conception to be in any other manner but in the manner how every other girl conceives a child upon marriage.

Also, this is not the only reason to believe in her perpetual virginity, it is simply the most suitable for Protestant style prooftexting. There are also (off the top of my head)
