There are only two that are ordinary natural English. These are #1 and #8. One or two others, e.g. perhaps #3, may be viable as deliberately "creative" phrasing.

By the way, this is incorrect spacing:

1.She poured out her troubles to me over a cup of coffee.

It should be like this:

1. She poured out her troubles to me over a cup of coffee.
