Things to do in Fresno?
Long story short, I was there for a holiday to meet a girl. Drama happened and she doesn't want to talk or see me. I'm going next month with no plans and nobody to go with. Refunding will only get me about 40% of my money back, the most.

There's not really anything to do in Fresno itself. You need to rent a car and explore. Yosemite sounds like a wonderful idea, or Gold Rush country if you aren't into a national park. Cancel the La Quinta and move on.

I agree with Doug. Rent a car and head north on 41. There are a couple fair motels in Oakhurst if you can't get lodging inside Yosemite. After coming in the south entrance turn right and go see the Mariposa Grove.

Are you serious? Then I think you're not going to have a very good time. You probably should look here: http://www.fresno.gov/Visitors/Default.htm.
But I think you have a lot of movies and fast-casual food in your future.

It is unfortunate that you're being stuck making do in Fresno, it's not known for being a place most people would want to visit. Check out the link that Doug posted for you, if you do have to stay in Fresno.
As far as San Francisco vs. Oakland - I'd pick San Francisco. However, for budget purposes you could look for lodging in Oakland near a BART station and do your sightseeing in San Francisco pretty quickly. All up to you.

The destination is San Francisco, and I suggested changing your flight to SFO or Oakland because those are the most convenient airports. Not because I expected you to spend time in Oakland, though it is becoming fairly trendy in a Williamsburg kind of way. (But hint: It's your response to that suggestion that makes you sound "trollish".)

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Allegiant has flights from Fresno (FAT) and Las Vegas. The fares range from $37 to $64.
You can also take a taxi to the Amtrak station and take a northbound San Joaquin train to Merced to get a YARTS bus to Yosemite. You can also continue on the San Joaquin all the way to Emeryville with a short bus trip over to one of several stops in San Francisco.

I spoke to American Airlines, still waiting for them to get back to me again. I was thinking of staying there but maybe not the best idea. I spoke to her and her family, they were expecting me and she still says "I don't know".
