Oxygen loves to make two bonds, and halogens pefer to make one, so O is the central atom single-bonded to each F.
Now, in this state, the O will have two single bonds and two lone pair on it. These bonds are of course electrons, and will repel away from the lone pairs, and will therefore result in a bent geometry. It's pretty much the same deal as water.
Hope this helps...
