The first female tuba player is often recognized as Ruth S. Kahn, who gained prominence in the early 20th century. While women played various instruments in orchestras and bands, Kahn broke significant barriers by becoming one of the first known female tuba players in a male-dominated field. Her contributions helped pave the way for future generations of female musicians in brass sections.
It depends. Is she challenging you? If not, then just ask her out. If she's challenging your position, just treat her like any other person. Win with humility. Lose with humility. Then you can ask her out later! ;)

Yes - on the plus side you don't need to learn new valvle combinations or how to make a sound on the instrument. However, you will find that there is a difference in your embechoure (to do with the mouthpiece on tuba being considerably bigger), you will have to blow harder to get the air moving in the tuba. Also, you may find that the tuba has a 4th valve, which is on the side adn played with the left hand (this is the same as playing 1 and 3, so for a low D you can just use 4th valve, and for a C# use 4th and 2nd). You will also have to learn bass clef. However, these are all things that are quick to learn, and with a grounding in trumpet you will probably find that you will be proficient on tuba in a much shorter length of time than it took to learn trumpet in the first place. Good luck and have fun!
