<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

A few months ago I met an online friend from an art website I frequent. He seemed pleasant and funny through our conversations online, so when we found out we lived within walking distance of one another, it was a neat surprise.

We set up a day to hang out, just a gathering between friends at a local fast food place. I go to meet him and the instant our eyes connect and we realize we found one another I immediately have to look away. He looked like a gremlin if they were fatter, had boggled fish eyes, a pug nose, and a protruding jaw/mouth.

The entire time we are hanging out, my eyes drift to all corners of the fast food restaurant, only settling on him to listen to him talk as to not be rude. Much of the conversation I had little to no interest in surprisingly, so I would mainly as questions to get him to talk more. Big mistake. All in all I must have spent a total of 2 hours listening to him before it hit me like a brick to the forehead. This throbbing pain punching my cranium. Begging my eyes to look away, to get out of there. 

Finally, I made up an excuse to leave, said a quick goodbye and as soon as I turned around to head home a wave of relief washed over me. I thought about that encounter many days after; was it just that he was unattractive to me, or was I overreacting and gave myself a headache? I am definitely not shallow, and would never judge a person based on their physical appearance...but that was an experience I will never forget.
