The meaning of covalent bonds beingdirectional is that atoms bonded covalently prefer specific orientations in space relative to one another. As a result, molecules in which atoms are bonded covalently have definite shapes. ... Hence covalent bonds show directionality because of the shape of their electron wavefunction

In essence, the first covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons in between them from their electron clouds. They can only share these electrons by approaching each other, and they can only approach each other in a straight line because there are only two atoms.
First covalent bond
between free atoms requires head-on overlap of atomic orbitals. This view does in fact require the atoms to approach each other in a straight line, or else the overlap won't be head-on
Second covalent bond
made, which is a bond, that requires sidelong overlap, which is directional as well
