Just came to know that satisfactory and satisfying are two different things but I have a doubt

If something is satisfactory it means it satisfies a particular condition


And if something's satisfying it means it provides pleasure


Then what does satisfactory mean in this sentence


I didn't get a satisfactory reply from Dawn when I asked her out.

uservaa I didn't get a satisfactory reply from Dawn when I asked her out. She either didn't give you a clear answer, or she gave you an answer that you didn't like. More context is required to determine which.
