Hydrogen "needs" an extra electron to achieve the noble gas configuration of helium. It therefore only "needs" one bond.

It can do this either by shsring electrons in a covalent bond, or with very electropositive metals such as Lithium it forms a bond that is virtually ionic, with most electron density on the hydrogen.
