Ask him to call you. At a decent hour. Or meet for coffee, earlier in the day. Then just tell him straight: you enjoyed your 1NS but you were vulnerable and have never done something like this before. You are embarrassed. You aren't the 'booty call' type. Then tell him you like him and would enjoy getting to know him better but that if he is hoping for a repeat of your 1NS stand anytime soon, its not going to happen. Apologize for giving him the wrong impression, thank him for his time and tell him to please contact you if he wants to date. But if not, you totally understand and wish him the best.
You had sex. It was fun but not how you really wanted to start a new relationship. Just explain this clearly and keep your dignity.
Your 'friend' sounds like a judgemental jerk. Ignore him and find a nice guy to spend time with. Maybe even this new one, depending on how he handles your pending conversation. Good luck.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
