Why atoms of Higher ionization potential forms covalent bond?

to form an ionic bond, the atoms need to be ionized first, then they join, thus the intermediate is highly energetic and this would be even more energetic in atoms of high ionization potentials; thus they find it less costly to share electrons for their stability(covalent bond) than gaining noble gas configuration through interchange of electrons(ionic bond).
