I think that being "older" doesn't always have negative thoughts. I had an ex that was 15 and I was 17 (at the time). Her parents became to trust me because I presented myself well, and I promised to look after and be there for her. In a way, Joe will have to present himself well...and you will too. I know I used a relationship ancedote there, but this applies when you are female and you just have an older male friend too.
Just wait a little while longer before you start to bring boys (Joe) to the house. Like I said before, in the teen years, that usually means that you're dating or thinking about dating him since he's meeting the family. Make sure that your intentions are clear with your mom, and make sure about Joe's too. Communication is the key here.
